Guston’s outpouring of satirical drawings was inspired partly by conversations with his friend Philip Roth, at work on his own scathing Nixon satire, ‘Our Gang’. “When I came back from Europe in the summer of 1971,” Guston later said, “I was pretty disturbed about everything in the country politically, the administration specifically, and I started doing cartoon characters. And one thing led to another, and so for months I did hundreds of drawings and they seemed to form a kind of story line, a sequence.” Completed during July and August 1971, these drawings were not publicly shown for three decades.
